Explanation:

To determine the significant outcome of the Battle of Saratoga, we analyze each option:

• Option d: The British occupation of New York was not a result of the Battle of Saratoga.
• Option b: The Battle of Saratoga did not convince the British to negotiate peace; that came later.
• Option c: The American victory at Saratoga was a turning point as it convinced France that the Americans could win the war, leading France to officially support the American cause (including providing military aid).
• Option a: The Battle of Saratoga did not mark the end of the war; the war continued for several more years.

Answer:

c) It led France to officially support the American cause
